When Paddington made its theatrical debut on November 28, 2014 in its home nation of the UK, it was a hit with critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes alone, critics have given this hybrid live-action and animated comedy film an astonishing 97% over 162 reviews. Audiences on Rotten Tomatoes aren’t too far behind with a 80% over 50,000+ ratings. Thus, you can imagine just why it is this film from director Paul King is just so renowed. You can also understand why that film spawned a sequel called Paddington 2 back in November 5, 2017, and to similar acclaim as well. In fact the sequel earned a 99% acclaim rate from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, making it do even better than the original film.

With that kind of success, it’s no wonder why Paul King would want to make a third film. Fortunately, we now know exactly when we’re going to see this sequel to the sequel. Don’t believe me?
